List of Xena episodes

Aphrodite, meddling to help a little girl, puts Xena's soul into her body to give her the will to live; Xena's body is left unconscious. Unfortunately, Aphrodite isn't quite sure how to unswitch, and an old enemy of Xena's is looking for her. Gabrielle and Aphrodite dress up as Scandinavian twins and end up oil wrestling with Castor and Pollux, two muscle-bound male twins, much to Aphrodite's pleasure and Gabrielle's disgust.

Best line:

Announcer: What's going on here?

Gabrielle: It's a shameless exploitation of the female form, that's what. You should all be ashamed!

Also, a "cunning linguists" line from Castor.

Also, this:

Gabrielle: Hello! My little girl is selling junior Amazon cookies.

Xena/Daphne: Would you like to try a free sample?

Guard: Don't mind if I do, little girl.

Xena/Daphne: (quickly applying the pinch to the guard's throat and saying menacingly): I've just cut off the flow of blood to your brain. Tell me where to find Galantis, or you'll be dead in thirty seconds. Am I making myself clear?

The guard nods.
